Optimised for the digital era, The Box handles all the functions needed for production not provided by most DAWs, including mic preamps, input signal processing, high-quality mix bus, cue sends with talkback, monitor control, and more, without the redundant capacities of larger consoles.

Do you ship internationally?
We ship worldwide via a range of couriers - DPD, Fedex, DHL and TNT - depending on the destination. We don’t currently fully support international checkouts through our website due to the vast differences in shipping costs from one country to another. Please get in touch if you wish to place an international order and your country is not listed on the delivery page.
Please note, VAT is no longer charged on orders to the EU but the BUYER is responsible for paying any import taxes and fees once the goods arrive in your country. We will not declare lower values to refuse these fees.
